Fucked Up have shared another single from their upcoming album.
Divining Gods serves as the third and final teaser track from 'Another Day', due out on August 9 via the Toronto hardcore band's own imprint Fucked Up Records. Vocalist Damian Abraham commented:
"As with all the songs on 'Another Day' having some sort of relationship with their counterpoint on One Day, Diving Gods is the continuance of the conversation started with Nothing's Immortal. While the first song dealt with loss in belief in an idol, Divining Gods is questions the need to make idols in the first place.
"As religion has become less of a factor in our society, this spiritual void has been filled with the fanatical, unquestioning worship of idols. And this isn’t just on the grandiose levels of cultural superstars, even in punk there is a tendency to build up our musical heroes to superhuman levels of grandeur. But humans putting others humans on pedestals rarely works out well.
"People are going to fail us, as we are going to fail people. It is the human condition to not live up to expectations. Where does this leave the godless worshipers? New gods will be found and new churches built to them, only to one day be burnt again. The void is continually emptied and filled. It almost seems like there is a natural cyclical nature to things."
Offering Abraham's strained, throat-shredding vocals over pummelling, anthemic hardcore, it follows the record's title track and lead single Stimming in previewing the project, which follows up 2023's 'One Day'.
Fucked Up will support the record with a UK tour in October, following North American dates in July and September. Tickets are on sale now.
